"If you've been to Burning Man it doesn't *need* an explanation. If you haven't, there *is* no explanation.

Never a truer word was spoken about this annual gathering in the desert.

My own creative contribution to this epic gathering of 50,000 family members in the desert is to bring some music I've made or sourced, and aim to play the right blend, at the right time in the right place. This is my two-hour closing set from DISTRIKT, on Wednesday, early evening. With DISTRIKT being my home camp on the Playa this set meant a HUGE amount to me and I can honestly say, hand-on-heart, that there hasn't been an occasion during my 20 years or so of Djaying when I have enjoyed playing music more than this.

"The bastard offspring of their collaboration with Primal Scream and New Order was somewhat of a child prodigy. Self Help For Beginners scored international success and many ‘album of the month’ accolades.

But since then, their schizophrenic tendencies kicked back in, and the unquenchable thirst for making banging electronics returned. This has given birth to Heart Attack Man and Sucker Sirens; two tracks that embody the reason why they started making music.

They spent the summer immersed in vintage CJ Bolland, the shreds of tape that Attaque had left on the Bad Life studio floor and enough pills to fuel the Berghain for a full week.

It inspired autoKratz to propel themselves back to the vanguard of future techno. The new live show debuted last Friday night at Tunnel club in Milan, and it went off in a big way.

So here is “autoKratz presents Bad Life #1”, the first in a string of EP's of formidable battle weapons for the dancefloor with big remixes to come from Tai, Lazy Ants & more. "

Straight from Burning Man 2011, here is an awesome set from one of my favorite DJ/Producers, Elite Force!

In his own words...

"It's 8am. Black Rock Desert. The previous evening had been electric. It began with a demented set of pure excess on the aptly named Purgatory Cruiser with it's Exocet flame guns and rocket-powered propane ... and then moved onto an epic, spiritual sunrise set on the Robot Heart ... and it ended up at the fabulous Nutz camp, surrounded by gorgeous Playa-friends, getting lowdown & dirty until around 11.30am.So this is my 3-hour set, live direct and raw, as it happened. Not my typical fayre perhaps, but none of my Burning Man sets are ever 'typical', and this perhaps gives you a different angle on my musical tastes. Big up to all the Nutz who once again welcomed me with open arms "

No Single Reason is a podcast that is a blend of mainly unreleased music from some of Bristol's finest producers - from Appleblim and Kowton to Vessel and Asusu. Bristol was the subject of Resident Advisor's first 'Real Scenes' video recently and this mix demonstrates why - a mixture of the jacking, deep, dark, and funky, from 110BPM and up.
